Exactly what is the "established legal procedures"?
I suppose it would be to subpoena Amazon for a list of customers with my stolen property; since a book can't be unread I would need to send each customer a bill for the full list price ($24.95 or so) of my book; if the bill is not paid I would need to have charges filed against the non-payors for receipt of stolen property; since the stolen property has crossed state lines (from Amazon to the customer) the appropriate law inforcement agency would either be Federal Marshals or the FBI; of course possession of stolen property across state lines is a felony.
Yeah, I could live with that. You know DesertGrandma isn't paying my $25 bill and I want her behind bars!!! (Just kidd'n DG.)
In truth (and in retrospect), I really don't have a problem with Amazon letting customers keep the ebook, but I do hope Amazon is not only refunding customers but also compensating the true publisher and author of the stolen work that they sold.
